CHARACTERS REVEALED! Straight from Disney today come character photos for their new animated seafaring adventure MOANA which will sail into cinemas this November. It is directed by Little Mermaid and Aladdin team Ron Clements and John Musker

Three thousand years ago, the greatest sailors in the world voyaged
across the vast South Pacific, discovering the many islands of Oceania.
But then, for a millennium, their voyages stopped - and no one today
knows why. MOANA is a spirited teenager who sails out on a daring
mission to prove herself a master wayfinder and fulfill her ancestors'
unfinished quest. During her journey, MOANA (Auli'i Cravalho) meets the once mighty demi-god Maui (Dwayne Johnson),
and together, they traverse the open ocean on an action packed voyage,
encountering enormous fiery creatures and impossible odds, and along the
way, Moana fulfills the ancient quest of her ancestors and discovers
the one thing she's always sought: her own identity!

NICOLE SCHERZINGER STARS

While newcomer Auli‘i Cravalho lends her voice to the title character, who dreams of becoming a master wayfinder, and Dwayne Johnson to Maui — her love interest, half god, half mortal - probably the shiniest addition to the cast is one of world's most talented pop stars Nicole Scherzinger who lends her voice to Sina, Moana's mother. Playful, sharp and strong-willed, Sina appreciates Moana’s longing to be on the water, but also wants to protect her daughter from the fabled dangers beyond the reef. Temuera Morrison voices Moana’s father, Chief Tui, the gregarious and well-respected leader of the people of Motunui Island!

Moana's pets include Pua, her loyal pet pig with puppy energy and an innocent puppy brain. Alan Tudyk is behind the voice of Heihei, a dumb rooster who accidently stows away on Moana’s canoe. Jemaine Clement provides the voice of Tamatoa, a self-absorbed, 50-foot crab who lives in Lalotai, the realm of monsters. Rachel House voices Gramma Tala, Moana’s confidante and best friend, who shares her granddaughter’s special connection to the ocean! And then there are also The Kakamora, an intense team of crazy, coconut-armored pirates who will stop at nothing to get what they want

After the massively exciting Comic Con weekend with tons of mind blowing new trailers, we're starting the week lightly with some television news, starting with an info coming from Netflix and CBC historical mini series ALIAS GRACE which has just teamed up Zachary Levi with leading star Sarah Gadon.

the controversial conviction of Grace Marks (Sarah Gadon), an Irish
immigrant who becomes a Canadian domestic servant and is later sentenced
to prison for the murders of her employer and his housekeeper in 1843.
It is not yet know whom will Levi play.

Oh, my, do I have some mindblowing fresh trailers from the Comic Con for you today! And they're almost all stunning and amazing. DC is, of course, dominating especially with the marvellous first trailer for WONDER WOMAN movie in which Gal Gadot is wielding her lasso of truth while trying to save Chris Pine from the battles of War World One. As you can see from the amazing trailer the fight scenes are really well done and Gal seems to have the necessary charisma. The trailer also shows stunning sets from the land of the Amazonians ruled by their queen played by ConnieNielsen. The movie is out next June!

1ST 'JUSTICE LEAGUE' TRAILER

ASSEMBLES DC'S HEROES Wonder Woman also appears in the first trailer which gathers all of
DC's leading super heroes in one place - JUSTICE LEAGUE which is still
shooting! I can't say I liked the trailer, too much horrid Ben Affleck for my
taste, but it also shows Ezra Miller as The Flash and Jason Momoa as
Aquaman! Amy Adams, Henry Cavill and Jeremy Irons also star. The movie
is out November next year.

JUDE LAW RULES FIRST

'KING ARTHUR: LEGEND OF THE SWORD' TRAILER

An equal mix of like and dislike for me in the first trailer for Guy Richie's retelling of the Camelot legends in KING ARTHUR: LEGEND OF THE SWORD. I did like the look of it, it looks rather stunning, Jude Law seems magnetic as the main villain Vortigern who steals the crown from Arthur. But I just can't get into Charlie Hunnam playing the character as if it is some modern day street thug with nothing medieval in it. Out next March it will also see EricBana playing Uther Pendragon, Arthur's father murdered by Vortigern, Astrid Bergès Frisbey as Guinevere and Djimon Hounsou as Sir Bedivere.

'STAR TREK: DISCOVERY'

First off, the brand new one for WONDER WOMAN which, starring Gal Gadot and Chris Pine, arrives into cinemas next June! As you can see she will have her lasso of truth with her!

and now the latest one is British star AdamCroasdell! He is to play

'LES MISERABLES'

TO BECOME NEW BBC SERIES

Well, after the great successes of WAR AND PEACE and DICKENSIAN, it
was only to be expected that BBC will venture even deeper into the world
of literary classics for their new series: according to latest news,
Andrew Davies (the same scribe that turned the tragic and deeply moving
depth of Tolstoy's classic into an Austenian flimsy affair) will now pen
a six episode mini series based on Victor Hugo's LES MISERABLES! But
here's the catch = this time it will be without singing! It will, of
course, follow Jean Valjean a former convict unable to escape the shadow
of his past life while being pursued by his enemy, police officer
Javert.

Tuesday, July 19, 2016

Now, people the drought has been long, but it is finally over with the most delicious of nectars: the first, utterly gorgeous and positively stunning character photos have been released today for NBC's upcoming new epic fantasy adventure EMERALD CITY coming from that insanely talented visual mastermind Tarsem Singh (THE CELL, THE FALL, IMMORTALS). The Wizard of Oz re imagining told in ten episodes sometime next mid season will have the cast lead by Adria Arjona, Oliver Jackson Cohen, Joely Richardson and Vincent D'Onofrio! I hear a sneak peak trailer should be aired at Comic Con this Saturday! I shall stick it here ASAP!

SAY GOODBYE TO KANSASEmerald City is described as a modern and dark reimagining of the
classic tale of Oz. Swept up into the eye of a tornado, 20 year old
Dorothy Gale and her K9 police dog are transported to another world — a
mystical land in great peril, where an all powerful Wizard has outlawed
magic and rules over a mystical land of competing
kingdoms, lethal warriors, dark magic and a bloody battle for supremacy!
This is the fabled Land of Oz in a way you’ve never seen before — where
lethal warriors roam, wicked witches plot in the shadows and a young
girl from Kansasbecomes the headstrong hero who holds the fate of their
world in her hands.

TARSEM'S STELLAR CAST

Created by Matthew Arnold, the series sees young Adria Arjona playing the grown up Dorothy Gale, Oliver Jackson Cohen is Lucas, the Scarecrow and also her love interest, he is handsome, mysterious and quick witted. Dorothy finds him, beaten, bloodied, and moaning on a post outside the ruins of his village. The sole survivor of what appears to gave been a mass crucifixion, he remembers nothing of his past, not even his name. He joins Dorothy on her journey to the EMERALD CITY, and as they survive challenge after challenge, he proves his loyalty to the brave but bewildered newcomer.

Florence Kasumba is a rather dramatic new Wicked Witch of the East with a rather glitzy fashion taste. Gorgeous Joely Richardson is the Good Witch Glinda, while Vincent D'Onofrio is the big Wizard himself, the enigmatic leader of Emerald City. A man of science in a world of magic, he rules through inspiration, fear and a tenuous accord with the grand witches!

The Wicked Witch of the West is played by Ana Ularu, she is a force of nature who has entered an unholy alliance with the Wizard. Corrupt and languorously seductive, she is a creature of perverse humour and unsavoury appetites. She lives in a lavishly appointed brothel where she is the madam of sorts. When confronted with the news of the First Sign that foretells the coming of the Beast, she’s clearly deeply affected by the portent’s significance…and what it means for her.
